Download or read book A Day for the Hunter a Day for the Prey written by Gage Averill and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Haiti throughout the twentieth century has been marked by oppression at the hands of colonial and dictatorial overlords. But set against this "day for the hunter" has been a "day for the prey," a history of resistance, and sometimes of triumph. With keen cultural and historical awareness, Gage Averill shows that Haiti's vibrant and expressive music has been one of the most highly charged instruments in this struggle—one in which power, politics, and resistance are inextricably fused. Averill explores such diverse genres as Haitian jazz, troubadour traditions, Vodou-jazz, konpa, mini-djaz, new generation, and roots music. He examines the complex interaction of music with power in contexts such as honorific rituals, sponsored street celebrations, Carnival, and social movements that span the political spectrum. With firsthand accounts by musicians, photos, song texts, and ethnographic descriptions, this book explores the profound manifestations of power and song in the day-to-day efforts of ordinary Haitians to rise above political repression.

Download or read book Feminism and the Mastery of Nature written by Val Plumwood and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two of the most important political movements of the late twentieth century are those of environmentalism and feminism. In this book, Val Plumwood argues that feminist theory has an important opportunity to make a major contribution to the debates in political ecology and environmental philosophy. Feminism and the Mastery of Nature explains the relation between ecofeminism, or ecological feminism, and other feminist theories including radical green theories such as deep ecology. Val Plumwood provides a philosophically informed account of the relation of women and nature, and shows how relating male domination to the domination of nature is important and yet remains a dilemma for women.
Download or read book Make Prayers to the Raven written by Richard K. Nelson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-05-23 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nelson spent a year among the Koyukon people of western Alaska, studying their intimate relationship with animals and the land. His chronicle of that visit represents a thorough and elegant account of the mystical connection between Native Americans and the natural world."—Outside "This admirable reflection on the natural history of the Koyukon River drainage in Alaska is founded on knowledge the author gained as a student of the Koyukon culture, indigenous to that region. He presents these Athapascan views of the land—principally of its animals and Koyukon relationships with those creatures—together with a measured account of his own experiences and doubts. . . . For someone in search of a native American expression of 'ecology' and natural history, I can think of no better place to begin than with this work."—Barry Lopez, Orion Nature Quarterly "Far from being a romantic attempt to pass on the spiritual lore of Native Americans for a quick fix by others, this is a very serious ethnographic study of some Alaskan Indians in the Northern Forest area. . . . He has painstakingly regarded their views of earth, sky, water, mammals and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. He does admire their love of nature and spirit. Those who see the world through his eyes using their eyes will likely come away with new respect for the boreal forest and those who live with it and in it, not against it."—The Christian Century "In Make Prayers to the Raven Nelson reveals to us the Koyukon beliefs and attitudes toward the fauna that surround them in their forested habitat close to the lower Yukon. . . . Nelson's presentation also gives rich insights into the Koyukon subsistence cycle through the year and into the hardships of life in this northern region. The book is written with both brain and heart. . . . This book represents a landmark: never before has the integration of American Indians with their environment been so well spelled out."—Ake Hultkrantz, Journal of Forest History
Download or read book The Killer Ghost written by Bedrettin Simsek and published by Bedrettin Şimşek. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the author who saved modern literature from being a desert of thought, Bedrettin Simsek, a novel full of mysteries about death and life for those who have lost God and are searching for Him. An example of a new, different, alternative literature of thought. So far, authors have written countless books about death without being able to tell us anything meaningful about it. This time, Bedrettin Simsek's novel, inspired by real cases of reincarnation that took place in Turkey, is not about those who die mysteriously, but about those who are mysteriously born. When he asks, "Is there a connection between reincarnation, God and schizophrenia?", he gives answers that have not been given before. He asks the questions that have not been asked. In a mysterious murder investigation, the search for the killer eventually leads us to find God. When a murder is solved, the mysteries of existence are solved. What comes out of the criminal's mind reveals that birth is actually a much more mysterious event than death. For those who want to think while reading, to encounter new and daring ideas. "I see not only the great truth behind everyday events, but also what happens in this world and in other worlds, even before birth and after death, and I describe these mysteries in my writings" Bedrettin Simsek

Book excerpt: In this blockbuster fantasy series, perfect for fans of Firekeeper’s Daughter and Iron Widow, fate binds two Black teenagers together as they journey into a magical jungle to hunt down a vicious monster. “Rich in magic and mythos, Beasts of Prey is a feast for all the senses.” —Renée Ahdieh, New York Times bestselling author of The Beautiful An Instant New York Times and Indie Bestseller There’s no such thing as magic in the broken city of Lkossa, especially for sixteen-year-old Koffi, who indentured to the notorious Night Zoo, knows the fearsome creatures in her care and paying off her family's debts to secure their eventual freedom can be her only focus. But the night those she loves are gravely threatened by the Zoo’s cruel master, Koffi unleashes a power she doesn’t fully understand, upending her life completely. As the second son of a decorated hero, Ekon is all but destined to become a Son of the Six—an elite warrior—and uphold a family legacy. But on the night of his final rite of passage, Ekon encounters not only the Shetani—a vicious monster that has plagued the city for nearly a century and stalks his nightmares—but Koffi who seems to have the power to ward off the beast. Koffi’s power ultimately saves Ekon, but his choice to let her flee dooms his hopes of becoming a warrior. Desperate to redeem himself, Ekon vows to hunt the Shetani and end its reign of terror, but he can’t do it alone. Koffi and Ekon form a tentative alliance and together enter the Greater Jungle, a world steeped in wild, frightening magic and untold dangers. The hunt begins. But it quickly becomes unclear whether they are the hunters or the hunted. “The hunt for your next YA fantasy book trilogy obsession has ended.” —Entertainment Weekly
Download or read book Ecophysiology of Spiders written by Wolfgang Nentwig and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently another book on insect physiology was published. It was restricted to a few focal points as are many of these new insect physiology books, but there was considerable depth in its specialized point of view. We were dis cussing the structure of this book and of insect physiology books, in general, when Prof. Remmert asked me " . . . and what about books on spider physio logy?" Silence. Then I started to explain "oh yes, there is a congress pro ceedings volume on this topic and there is a group with excellent publica tions on another topic . . . ", but I felt that this answer was weak. One can no longer buy the proceedings volume in a bookshop and to read a series of publications on a given topic one must search in a library for a dozen journals. Why is there not a single book on spider physiology comparable with the many books on insect physiology? Are spiders a scientific ivory tower, far from public interest and commercial importance? I do not think so, although spiders are one of the many "forgotten" animal groups which always grew in the shadow of the insects. There are research groups working on spider physiology, there are fascinating phenomena in this animal group and there are plenty of exciting results. Spiders may have been always underresearch ed, but research is progressing. In the last few years, new books have been published, e. g.

Download or read book The Most Dangerous Cinema written by Bryan Senn and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People hunting people for sport--an idea both shocking and fascinating. In 1924 Richard Connell published a short story that introduced this concept to the world, where it has remained ever since--as evidenced by the many big- and small-screen adaptations and inspirations. Since its publication, Connell's award-winning "The Most Dangerous Game" has been continuously anthologized and studied in classrooms throughout America. Raising questions about the nature of violence and cruelty, and the ethics of hunting for sport, the thrilling story spawned a new cinematic subgenre, beginning with RKO's 1932 production of The Most Dangerous Game, and continuing right up to today. This book examines in-depth all the cinematic adaptations of the iconic short story. Each film chapter has a synopsis, a "How Dangerous Is It?" critique, an overall analysis, a production history, and credits. Five additional chapters address direct to video, television, game shows, and almost "dangerous" productions. Photographs, extensive notes, bibliography and index are included.
Download or read book What Have I Become written by Michael and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based loosely on an actual event that occurred when I was not yet a teenager. I was walking home in the early morning hours after working at a part time job when I met up with a wolf on a lonely deserted street on a bitterly cold winter night near the edge of a small frontier town. The wolf wouldnt attack me, but he snarled and growled at me a lot and he absolutely would not let me pass and go home. We stood there and stared at each other for hours before he suddenly turned and disappeared back into the forest. I wrote a story around this event about a prophecy and a transformation, which is of course entirely fictional for your reading pleasure.
Download or read book Hunted written by Kevin Lewis O'Neill and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A necessary addition to the literature on Latin America’s Pentecostals, whose number exceeds 100 million . . . a highly readable text.” —Times Higher Education “It’s not a process,” one pastor insisted, “rehabilitation is a miracle.” In the face of addiction and few state resources, Pentecostal pastors in Guatemala City are fighting what they understand to be a major crisis. Yet the treatment centers they operate produce this miracle of rehabilitation through extraordinary means: captivity. These men of faith snatch drug users off the streets, often at the request of family members, and then lock them up inside their centers for months, sometimes years. Hunted is based on more than ten years of fieldwork among these centers and the drug users that populate them. Over time, as Kevin Lewis O’Neill engaged both those in treatment and those who surveilled them, he grew increasingly concerned that he, too, had become a hunter, albeit one snatching up information. This thoughtful, intense book will reframe the arc of redemption we so often associate with drug rehabilitation, painting instead a seemingly endless cycle of hunt, capture, and release. “O’Neill uses his dramatic story of the manhunt to rethink Foucauldian pastoral power . . . [an] utterly brilliant book.” —PoLAR: Political and Legal Anthropology Review “The theme of Kevin Lewis O’Neill’s fascinating book, Hunted—i.e., drug addicts kidnapped and held in involuntary confinement in treatment centers run by Guatemalan Pentecostals—may strike readers as so outré or outrageous as to provoke a reaction . . . Hunted consists in brilliant participant-observer reportage.” —Pneuma
Download or read book On Top of the Old Tak written by Dr. N. Dilip Kumar and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-20 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raghu, a poor dalit boy, grew up a product of deprived and impoverished village life in the small town of Rajanagaram in Southern India. Perhaps because he spent his formative years showered with the love and virtuous nature of his parents, he beat all odds, becoming a police officer. Raghu becomes an illustrious officer, despite the crime and corruption-ridden society and policing structure. By the time he lands in Arunachal in the Eastern Himalayas, he finds Arunachal a cauldron of change. The ethnicity and age-old traditions of the tribes are at stake as insurgents work in tandem with Christian missionaries. The social equilibrium is disturbed in this new age. On Top of the Old Tak offers several captivating travelogues, conveying the woes of the common man. On Top of the Old Tak also captures the turmoil of the times as cultures and ideals clash. Raghu’s is a struggle to maintain—and in some cases bring about the return of—virtue in a changing society. This is a story of the fight for emancipation from the forces of corruption. It is a tribute to the honest policemen who sacrifice.
